FaceBook reached it’s rock bottom accessibility-wise since 2014!

Hey everyone! Sorry to spoil your day again :)
I had been off of FaceBook for years pretty much, but today I spent literally 10 minutes in the latest app on IOS26.5 and, to say that I was frustrated with FaceBook is to say nothing! It’s reached its rock bottom! I’ve used FaceBook since the early 2014 and I’ve never seen it that laggy and inaccessible! First off, I can’t give any reaction to posts, accept for a like.

Second, After scrolling through couple posts, voiceover suddenly takes me to the very 1st post in my feed, it happened twice for 10 minutes today.

Third, Voiceover can read a post while its cursor would secretly jump to another post. That’s exactly how I wrote a comment under the wrong post. Thank god I saw I posted it under the wrong post.

How’s your experience with FaceBook on IOS, guys?
P.s. Reminding you that I didn’t have any chance to do on FaceBook for these 10 minutes, that’s all I was doing. Whatever I was doing was glichy or inaccessible.

I don’t know if Apple Vis can collect our complains and send them to FaceBook or not.

P.p.s. It sends me into a spiral. A lot of things accessibility-wise are crumbling right before my eyes.

I’m not sure whether it is due to a lot of lay-offs in accessibility (if there are some), or it’s due to most people who’re not willing to take any responsibility in 2026…. Please proove me wrong, I have a desire to stay positive….

It still works for me.
Yes sometimes scrolling jumps around, but it is still very usable. Also, to react, double tap and hold on the like button. That brings up a list of reactions.
